How the Cubs have formed a 'mental edge' over opponents

WASHINGTON, D.C. — There's just something about the Cubs at Nationals Park.

Eleven months after Wade Davis and the Cubs somehow found a way to beat the Nationals in an epic NLDS Game 5, Joe Maddon's group once again battled and picked up a tough 6-4 win Thursday night in D.C.

Though this time, Davis was nowhere to be found and Maddon had to squeeze the absolute most out of his bullpen in the 10-inning affair.

Brandon Kintzler — now a Cubs reliever, but was a part of the Nationals bullpen in that NLDS — believes his current team has a "mental edge" over opponents.
